Immigration Reform Arguments
In the 21st Century the rise of immigration reform has been very prevalent in the world of politics, particularly so in our upcoming presidential election. It is a topic that is considered quite controversial by many as it raises just another barrier in the fight between Republicans and Democrats in the United States House and Senate. It seems as if the more we discuss it over time the uglier the debates have gotten over it, but it is simply a problem that must be addressed regardless of what side you may choose to take on the topic. Both parties can ultimately agree that the overwhelming flow of illegal immigrants in to the United States must be handled in a lawful and orderly manner, which has proved to be an extremely difficult subject to come to an agreement on.

When political agendas driven by a greedy thirst for wealth and the possibility of reelection come in to play though, it seems as if almost any debate can be subject to your own basic discretion due to the absence of concrete facts or even factually based opinions in these said arguments. That's why it is extremely important when looking at these highly debatable topics that you form a strong opinion based around concrete factual evidence to really be taken seriously when discussing these said topics.
When the use of truly factual evidence is used throughout a supporting argument involving a topic such as information your credibility is now much higher than it ultimately was before. Moving on to the topic itself it is important to note that immigration while being a very touchy subject is something one should form a strong opinion on. In this case, while it is important to take into account the overall wellbeing of those who need our help in poorer countries, it is mostly essential to set out guidelines and rules that are completely set in stone to prevent the entry of those who would wish to harm the overall wellbeing of those who truly and legally belong in our country.
When making your initial points involving a discussion on immigration, while this may be up for debate, I believe it is very important to first address the obvious counter arguments that one may present towards a pro reform argument. The first obvious point to be made when addressing someone that believes there is no reason for immigration reform in the United States is involving the crime rate involving illegal immigrants especially ones who stem from the regions of South and Central America. Claims are prevalently made by people against immigration reform that crime rates have barely risen throughout America since the rise of immigration from countries such as Mexico. While this may be true when only looking at these facts alone it is important when building a strong argument that you look deeper than the initial level of facts because there are after all always strong ways to support a well built up argument.
A fact like this can easily be debunked by crime reports done by FBI agents that lead us to believe that while crime has ultimately not risen that much since the growth of Mexican immigration, crime has in fact risen throughout states in the Southwestern US and especially in city areas populated by minorities such as African Americans and Mexican Americans. This supports the claim that while crime has not risen in general in the US, it has in fact risen in areas with a high rate of illegal immigrants and minorities in high priority areas of the US.
When the topic of immigration is brought up in politics and popular culture it is usually first explained through our recent issues with immigration from Mexico and Central America but what most don't realize is the fact that even though our problems with illegal immigrants are not prevalent now they could very well become so in the future. This is easily shown through other countries in the past that have to chosen to completely open their doors to immigrants or otherwise have done nothing about the pandemic of preventing 0 illegal immigration in to their countries. Take countries like Turkey for example who throughout the war in Syria have opened
the doors for immigrants of this war torn country. While we as humans may in fact have a certain obligation to other human beings and their likeness, it is important to realize that we must sometimes make sacrifices for the wellbeing of our own people first and foremost. This has not only led to the spread of poverty and crime in countries like this, but also a rise of immigration rates in other countries. When these facts are coupled together it is clear that while the short term consequences of helping people in need are not prevalent, they do soon become prevalent when taken in to a long term account i.e. other countries who have taken this stance in the past.
